I was just wondering, seeing so many old bastards posting under an alias... What do you do? Just stay the course, or make a NEW(tm) account like Corneliu and Deep Kimchi do?

Stay the course, unless you've been deleted... and even then, make sure everyone knows it's you when you come back.

Coming back implies that I should leave first. But I'll never leave muhahahaha :D

Unless the mods are going fanatic on me ofcourse :( :p

I used to try staying the course, but I gave up on that...yeah...I'm not a "new" guy. I'm actually a reallly old guy who had some shit to do for awhile. I actually made my original nation like fifteen days after this whole NationStates thing started.

I don't need an alias, because I have nothing to hide.

*turns away, trips over horrible sex scandal*

Hey, I thought I left that in the closet! Um...

*runs away*

Later...

Hey, I'm new here. Don't flame plz.

I must be totally braindead, clueless or simply uninformed.

Corneliu has an alias? :confused:

He doesn't, unless you buy into pointless, baseless speculation. He's gone.

Corneliu may have been conservative but that may be taking it a little far don't you think? Unless he is playing one big joke on us...

*laughing*

Come, come - even Corny isn't that messed up, Cthu. Besides, I thought he'd up and gone Christ-ian on us. MTAE just isn't his style...

Corny did have a thing with puppets, but I agree that this isn't his style. MTAE's posts are a bit better structured.

Meh, I've been going for over 2 1/2 years and have never needed a new account.

I don'y see why anybody would.

Never been DEATed, banned, or anything of the sort. I got an informal warning once, and that was for egging on people fighting a flame war...

I know. I want Utracia to get as many posts as possible. Doesn't help if I'm distracted with a puppet.

Being a Sept 06 nation, you'd know all about him right?

Yeah, that's a March 2003 date you see under my name. I've been rocking this shit for nearly four years.

And hopefully you'll stick around for four more. We need the regulars to stick around, keep NS moving.

I'll never leave. I may stop posting for periods of time, but I'll never just let NS go. Too attached.

I changed my nation name. It got deleated for inactivity, and I didn't much like the name anyway.

I quit for a while, and when I came back, it was on the down low. I think most of the old timers around here have figured out who I was, and the newer folk wouldn't have known me anyway, so I don't make a big deal out of it. But I am, scary to say, about to hit 10K posts with my second nation.

I've been doing this too long.

My computer broke and when I got a new one I went with a different service provider so my email changed too.
I couldnt remember my password, my nation had no doubt been deleted for inactivity, I couldnt have my password emailed (because I no longer had the email account I had registered with), and I wasnt even entirely certain of the exact lettering of my nation's title (with "automatically log me in" selected in all my settings, it's not like I ever typed it).
So far as I could tell my old account wasnt retrievable, so I started a new one.

Actually, it is. I've seen him be deliberatly trollish before. Not for so long and for that sole purpose, but certainly with that kind of style.

With corny, the imbecilic comments, downright stupid ideas, and penchant for factual errors might have made him appear a troll to the uninitiated, but he always seemed content to let it all hang out, embarrassing as that repeatedly was.

The sort of trolling from this new blowhard doesn't seem the same. May be wrong, but who can really understand the scummy motivations of forum-troll trash?

I make a new account whenever I stray from NS long enough for my old nation to disappear. I've managed to keep this one going fairly long compared to my last few.

I'm tending toward thinking that certain posters are in fact puppet discreditors - designed specifically to put a savage burn on one side of an issue or on one ideology, in order to discredit that side or perspective while still appearing to defend it - albeit poorly.

Thats how I define troll.

For instance, making a name like "ACLUsSOGreat" and making posts like "the aclu's best idea yet is to abolish marriage and require that 85% of summer camp counselors, even in christian camps, be gay, because of blah blah blah"

Fed up with getting his ass handed to him, you mean.

Personally, I think MTAE is Deep Kimchi taken to an even greater extreme.

I've already decided that if something happens to this account, i'm coming back as Dubsy.

Now someone will probably take that and pretend to be me. Oh well...

I already HAVE come back. Some of you may have known me for a period of several months from late 2004 to early 2005 as PIcaRDMPCia.

I think I've posted on NS General with other usernames years ago, back when I RPed, but all the relevant nations are gone.

Almost all of my NS General participation has come from Soheran... though the Soheranians are getting tired of it, and any day now might decide to throw me out.

You used to RP? :eek:

Damn...why did you quit? :(

Not much.

Nothing went anywhere, and I neither had the patience nor the dedication to detail required.

Edit: And I think it was before the switch to Jolt, so navigating the forums was an immense annoyance.

I come back by clicking the link in my toolbar...

Oh...

Never had to worry about it. The only way I'll leave is if I get DEATed, and that's not going to happen. All I've managed from the mods so far is a 'knock it off' in a thread about everyone's warnings etc. And that was because I'd said I'd never had so much as a 'knock it off'. :p Nice to know the mods have a sense of humour.

I come back with my old account. Which is why my post count is relatively low compared to the age of my account/nation.

I had an old nation - Grand Teton. Decided I didn't like the name a couple of months after I became a Generalite. I should really get it rezzed, t'was an Apr04 vintage. I intend to keep this one going as long as NS does.

I don't plan on leaving, but if for some reason I have to, I'll be back. Like it says in someone's sig, NSG is like the hotel california, we can check out but we can never leave.

I have, uh, a couple of other puppets who'll probably find their way into the fora should something terminal happen to this one, which I hope and assume doesn't.
